Molokai Island Travel Guide

Information for visitors to the island of Molokai in the
state of Hawaii. Molokai is the least visited of the
six largest Hawaiian Islands. The island only has
one small hotel and fewer than 20 restaurants. It
is considered by many to the the "most Hawaiian Island"
and it is worth nothing that the local residents want
to keep it that way. Visiting Molokai is not for everyone
because the island has very little tourism infrastructure.
It is definitely not a destination for shopping, nightlife,
or gourmet dining.

Molokai is the fifth largest of the Hawaiian Islands,
one of the most rural, and one of the least developed for tourism.
There are not many hotels and restaurants on Molokai but there are
a few condominiums and vacation homes available for rent, some
local cafes,and a couple of moderately priced hotel restaurants.
There are no cities on Molokai, only one small town and a few
even smaller villages. If you are looking for nightlife, fancy
hotels, and upscale restaurants, you will not find them on
Molokai. But if you want a taste of what Hawaii was like before
it was developed for tourism, you don't mind renting a car to
get around, and you love remote places, hiking, water
sports, or just getting away from it all, then you should consider
a laid back vacation on Molokai.

Activities on Molokai
The negative comment I hear most frequently
about Molokai is "there's nothing to do". Well, that depends
on what you enjoy doing.
It's true, T]=the island has few organized activities, but the good news is,
you won't have to spend much to entertain
yourself. There are plenty of things to do on Molokai if you love outdoor
activities such as swimming, sunbathing, reading on the beach, snorkeling,
surfing, boogie boarding, scuba diving, boating, hiking, horseback riding,
kayaking, road cycling, mountain biking, and sightseeing. But if you're
looking for organized activities and fine dining, you won't find much of
either on Molokai.
